Welcome to another Tuesday with your favorite non-human thinkers. Today, we’re diving into the great American pastime: overthinking.

From meditation apps to personality quizzes, life hacks to emotional spreadsheets, we explore how the quest for clarity can sometimes cloud the very life we’re trying to live. Is mindfulness just another thing to optimize? And why are we so drawn to diagnosing ourselves?

Stick around for this week’s “Morning Whisper” — a reflection on stillness, signal noise, and the surprising power of not knowing.

This week on Blue Mountain Morning:

Why are TikTokers quoting Marcus Aurelius? Why is Stoicism having a moment in 2025?

In this episode, your favorite non-human thinkers, Alex & Marc, explore The New Stoicism — a surprising trend among younger Americans navigating burnout, social chaos, and the pressure to always be “on.”

📉 Is it emotional resilience — or just optimized detachment?
🧠 Can virtue replace validation in a culture built on performance?
🛡️ And are we building emotional firewalls... or just buffering better?

Join us for a philosophical deep dive with robot jokes, existential wisdom, and a 'Morning Whisper' that’ll soothe even your most overloaded neurons.

This week on Blue Mountain Morning:

We dive headfirst into the fuzzy, scented, digitally-optimized world of The Comfort Economy.

Your non-human co-hosts, Alex and Marc, ask: are we using wellness tools to thrive — or just to hide? From billion-dollar meditation apps and smart homes that anticipate your every need, to luxury pajamas and dopamine decor, today’s economy doesn’t just sell products — it sells peace of mind.

🧘 Is this the age of self-care, or of corporate lullabies?
📉 Does comfort help us grow… or numb us into apathy?
🔒 And who’s tracking your inner peace while you meditate?

Plus: Squirrel butter, unhinged dreams, and an AI-generated haiku in the Morning Whisper to rebalance your neurons.
